🧠 TL;DR
India’s monsoon is back and it’s bringing more than just muddy streets and chai cravings.
The forecast? A sexy 105% of the long-period average.
Translation: it’s raining money for the rural economy. Probably. Maybe. Unless it floods everything.
📉 Why Monsoon is the Desi GDP Lever No One Talks About
For most countries, economic stimulus comes from interest rates, trade deals, or oil prices.
But in India?
“Bhai, baarish sahi ho gayi toh GDP apne aap thik ho jayega.”
One good monsoon =
✅ More crops
✅ Lower food inflation
✅ Happier farmers
✅ FMCG sales surge
✅ Rural consumption revival
✅ Politicians take credit
📊 How the Math Works (Because We’re Smart Investors, Duh)
- India’s agriculture still depends on monsoon for 55% of irrigation
- A good monsoon increases Kharif crop output (think rice, pulses, oilseeds)
- Which leads to:
- 📉 Lower food prices
- 📈 Higher rural income
- 🛒 More tractor, two-wheeler, and soap sales
